Natural sisal carpet adds a modern, welcoming appearance to your home. Sisal carpet naturally comes in hues of brown, so it easily blends to fit the appearance of any color palate that may accent your home.
Sisal carpet can also be dyed, but will maintain its natural look although its color has changed. In addition to being an attractive addition to your living space, natural sisal carpet is durable, inexpensive, and completely natural.
This Earth-friendly sisal material is also carcinogen free and perfect for families that suffer from allergies.
Although the use of natural sisal carpets is a newer fashion in our culture, sisal has been used for centuries, dating as far back as ancient Egypt. This versatile material can also be found in weaved baskets as well as ropes and burlap bags.

Choosing Your Sisal Carpet

Not only do you have options in the hue of your natural sisal carpet, you also have the opportunity to choose from a number of different textures. Depending upon the room in your house where the natural sisal carpet will be placed, you will want to choose the most appropriate weave. Tighter weaved sisal carpets tend to be a little coarser, though sometimes easier to clean. Natural sisal carpets with a weave that is looser are sometimes slightly more comfortable to sit on.
When choosing your natural sisal carpet, keep in mind that it should be placed in an area of low moisture. Natural sisal carpets do not take well to being constantly bombarded with spills or other types of humidity or moisture. Therefore, bathrooms and kitchens in particular, are not ideal places to install your natural sisal carpet.
